Is Louis the German also Louis II?

Accuracy check needed:

Was Louis the German also called Louis II?

Article Louis the Pious indicates he was, as does Wikipedia:List of encyclopedia topics/Biographies L2.

However, article Louis the German indicates his nephew was also named Louis II:

"In 855 the emperor Lothar died, and Louis and Charles for a time seem to have cooperated in plans to divide Lothar's possessions among themselves -- the only impediments to this being Lothar's sons, Lothar II and Louis II."

Louis the German is also not listed at the disambiguation page, Louis II.

Is this information accurate -- that Louis the German and his nephew, (Louis II, Holy Roman Emperor) -- both had the same name, Louis II?

I didn't want to run the links before finding out for sure from someone with expertise in this area.

In short, yes. At length: they didn't have the same name, but yes, they now are both referred to as "the second" by some people in some contexts. It's a good reason to not rely on numbering to tell people apart. So:

Louis the Pious's son = Louis the German = Ludwig II, King of the East Franks
Louis the Pious's nephew, son of his brother Lothar = Louis II, Emperor = Ludwig II, King of Italy

Beautiful! I've fixed the links. Thanks for the accuracy check. Kevyn 07:16, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

A pleasure. The family really should have had a bit more imagination, with three Louis/Ludwigs, 2 Charles' and two Lothar/Lothairs in such close juxtaposition.... - Nunh-huh 07:43, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
